  1. Tried your settings Fruitbat, Performance was good, looked good, but my GTX260 showed them nasty pixel-by-pixel blocky thingy black-dotted-shadows-in-the-snow-stuff.... so went back to what I used to have in Conf.ini

    Haven't looked into what flag is responsible for it though.. Oh well!

  2. Here's a link to the full 2.0n Patch, it's a Torrent, so you will be needing a torrent client to download it : Up 2.0n torrent

    It's 3.5GB so it should have the complete 2.0 pack in it...

    Should that not work, you could use Checkmods, but that will take a very long time to finish, maybe 8 hours or so, and the result will be 2.0, not 2.0n.(Checkmods 1.34 is in the Vault, download it, install it, point it to the IL2 folder you want updated to UP2.0, press 'Bring to DD's standard' sit back and wait and wait and wait some more...)

    Good Luck!

  3. Here's the part relevant for the wide screen resolution, copy and paste it in your conf.ini, replacing the current settings.

    [window]
    width=1680
    height=1050
    ColourBits=32
    DepthBits=24
    StencilBits=8
    ChangeScreenRes=1
    FullScreen=1
    DrawIfNotFocused=0
    EnableResize=1
    EnableClose=0
    SaveAspect=0
    Use3Renders=0

    Sorry, can't think of a utility that does and behaves like you describe... or ... maybe IL2 Manager ?

  4. For a small project I'm in need of all the 'Default' in game skins, in the usual 1024x1024 bitmap format.

    Does anybody know where to find them?

    Or how to successfully extract them?

    (I can open up and extract files from fd_3do20.SFS, but this results (per plane type) into some 1Mb large .tga type files, and one 4Mb .tgb file, with which I cannot do anything..... can't open them, they are not being recognized as valid image files... Using PaintshopPro 7, IrFanView, etc.)

  5. Bottom left of every page is a drop down, try 'Clean Cut (Import)' for size ;)

    I like the clean cut one,

    Question, When I hit Reply it always wants to Quote.

    an adjustment possibly?

    Just hit ' Add Reply' button, which is a bit lower on the page ...

  6. Well done Jim, glad you got it sorted.

    Maybe I should expand CheckMods, so it checks the entire installation, and not just the mod part?

    You mean it doesn't?

    Jabo

    No, it does not.

    Currently, it only checks a limited set of files, ones that are relevant for the mods.

    But, I might just as well put everything in there.

    You then could use CheckMods to create an entire installation in an empty folder. (You'd have to be kinda patient though for it to finish)

    Although, wouldn't that be kinda illegal?

    And, it'd also mean that some of your custom skins and other custom stuff might go missing... and get replaced.

    I'll study it a bit more though, it may make some sense in the end...

  7. There's no need to delete any files before running CheckMods

    If any files got messed up, CheckMods will see them, and replace them... with fresh and good copies ones... (Well, 'good' ... just as good as they were when I put them there...)

    Maybe a skin-issue? (I dunno, just thinkin' out loud, it couldn't be, as the sky wouldn't be skinned now would it?)

  8. Microsoft FFB2:

    They say it's a fine stick...

    I got me one, but was disappointed with it...

    Are you nuts FT?!? Did you use your FEET to control it?

    I had the original MK.I, the FFB Pro with the old 15-pin interface, and it was great and lasted me 10 years.

    Then I managed to get hold of the Mk.II recently, the FFB 2, and it was a great upgrade.

    If I had one of the many other numerous, non-FFB sticks, I think I would forget about IL-2 and play 'Lemmings online'.

    No, I'm not nuts...

    I still got an FFB Pro.

    But it's not as good as the Guillemot! It's FFB too you know!

    Why's Ms FFB not that good? Them feckin' gears!

    Guillemot has rubber belts that bring the forces from motors to the stick, much better, no grinding at all!

    You just can't beat that!
